Today I got a library card for the Seattle Public Libraries. No, I didn't have one before. Yes, I'm being serious. However, I did have a King County library card growing up, which was rarely used. I just was never interested in the library. I barely ever went to the library at school, only when my class would go, but never for fun.
I nanny two girls who love to read. They really inspire me to want to read (I'm inspiring them to like math since their mom is making them do 2-4 pages a day all summer) because they do it so often...by choice! I was never ever ever like that as a child (or as an adult!). It's so cool and a little odd to see them enjoy it so much because it's something I don't like at all. Like I mentioned in a previous post, it's probably because I'm not good at it. Being with the girls and having them reading all the time, really leaves me only one choice, join the club. So I've been reading a ton (relative term) lately and I want to keep reading.
When the girls and I first went to the SPL near us, I was astonished by the size, variety, easiness, and so much more. We found some books to take with us and we put some books on hold for them. I went back today with my roomie Olivia, got a card, placed a book on hold, and we checked out 4 movies! The librarian said they have new releases come too and that I should check the catalog online for a full list of DVDs. The library is a completely different place than it used to be. Heck, I even checked out a non-fiction wedding book that I'm actually EXCITED to read.
Who am I and what had happened to the old me...?
